Quote:

Gyula György Zagyva, the honorary chief of HVIM and Jobbik member of parliament and several members of HVIM have been taken into custody by police as a result of a confrontation at the entrance of the “Sziget” festival site.

About 20 people, most of them members of “Betyársereg” tried to get into the Island where HVIM has a legal permit to demonstrate. However, police and members of In-Kal security blocked the group from entering the site.

During the incident police detained several people among them Gyula György Zagyva; then, riot police started dispersing the crowd but the demonstrators promised that they come back on Saturday.

Update

Police released Gyula György Zagyva from the Gyorskocsi detention center at 1:45 am. Several HVIM members are still in custody in the third district police station.

After his release, Zagyva held a press conference showing his wounds as police roughed him up during the arrest. In the paddy wagon police officers abused the detainees said Zagyva. While on the floor, police officers jumped on the back of a detainee said the Jobbik parliamentarian.
